Forest Rain - a musical journey into the heart of old growth forests
Available Everywhere - Listen Now
The natural sounds of Forest Rain trace a journey following the rivers and streams up the mountain to the very heart of the old growth forest. Lush music reflects the depth and multi-layered richness of the ancient grove. Towering, moss draped cedars are home to a multitude of species.
Trees of many ages live in a communion of natural systems, creating a context for the intricate web of life to play out its magic dance. The music flows to a place on the river where the salmon have come all the way from the sea to spawn in the very place they were born. Here, eagles come by the hundreds to feed as the salmon lay down their lives for the next generation, thus completing their life cycle.
Dean Evenson’s love for nature is embodied in his musical work which blends natural sounds with his free-form compositions. His vision is “to create peaceful, joyous environments for people on this planet to live in …bringing nature, music, and humanity together in harmony.”
